Aurora Canyon

off road - alternate route in:

Considered the back way into Bodie, from Bridgeport via Aurora Cyn. Locate the Bridgeport Reservoir, take Route #168 Aurora Canyon Road to Geiger Grade, right turn to Bodie. Rugged dirt roads, mostly graded, washouts possible. 4WD might be needed in wet conditions. FREE primitive tent camping is common in Aurora Canyon, but not on the windy passes of the grade, so plan accordingly. The views are breathtaking i certain spots.

NO MOTORHOMES: Do not even attempt to take an RV out this way. Narrow canyon with steep long grades, loose gravel and dirt. Creek crossings and rocks in the road. Minimal turn around spots.
